If 28 teams out of 30 Didnt want him instead of 29 of 30 teams not wanting him no one team putting in an offer doesn't change the premise that damn near every team out there want nothing to do with the guy.



Jesus Christ this is just such brilliant logic

You don't think a team like the Cavs would have loved to have him?

or Golden State?

or the Thunder?

or even Houston?


And even if it were true, it doesn't make it intelligent. Member when 31 teams passed on Drew Brees? Great call by those GMs

Ain't gonna be a link you gotta use your brain on this one. All The proof you need is in the offer that sacramento accepted. It was shite. And there was maybe a (1?) better offer?

Howard is worth more than cousins today. No chance the pels could've gotten Howard for that deal. None.

so the fact that there was a better offer doesnt mean that boogies value is more than what the kings traded him for?

Don't even think about becoming a CC fan when WCF rolls around....



lmao, never would in a million years.
I love watching CC lose in the playoffs purely to watch your excuses roll.

Harden is playing elite
Westbrook is playing elite

more players playing elite is better for the NBA, simple as that. Harden and Westbrook are having some heavy usage seasons and how long they can sustain it is very intriguing considering we won't see something like this for a very long time either.

And Jamie Collins is only worth a 4th round pick b/c that is what he was traded for.

You get the General idea of it. If you wanna nitpick a team or two have at it. That's your MO not mine.

If cousins had more value around the league he wokulda fetched more. That's unarguable.

I am glad the Pels got Cousins. He is definitely a better talent.

when the owner says Hield can be Curry, you know who's the dumb one in this trade and it definitely wasn't Dell Demps.

It could also turn the Pels into a contender


What other option did they have? No way they lure in big names, yet one falls in their lap



I personally think this is going to change the franchise in a huge way, will make Nola a destination for free agents, and creating a winning team.



We'll see



I know at least 6 people who picked bought season tickets today

Even SirWinston was looking into them to scalp

the general idea? You're being a pussy now and backtracking on your original premise.

Let's start with this:

if divac values Buddy as the next Curry, is it possible that he thought he was getting a good return?

Here's a better question: Do you have any doubt that the Pelicans throw in another 1st if that would have gotten the deal done?

I mean he didn't even wait for the trade deadline. he panicked.

the lakers wouldn't even give up Brandon Ingram for him. ?that's how low his value is.


Other teams wanted him. And even gave a better deal. It was the picks in the end that got it done.

It's no use my man. He already said he doesn't think ATL would trade howard for him straight up

Howard is no longer the man.

Cousins is the man many nights.

Cousins by a mile. They are both head cases.

There's only a handful, if even, of teams who have a young guy (rookie contract) and a top 10 pick this upcoming year's draft to trade, but has at least one quality player to keep to build a playoff team with.

Boston
Denver
LA Lakers
New Orleans

Portland won't give up CJ, Minnesota and Philly have KAT/Embiid, Lakers won't give up Ingram though

Who could have offered a better package than one with a guy with the potential of Steph Curry?

You can only do what you're doing if you view it through the eyes of the Kings,which is a losing proposition in itself.
